That's taking pride in what someone else has done - weird even by your standards!I take a pride in most things I do and yeh another coat could be good.......
i'll give you a tenner for them.I tried some out and didn't like them, well not entirely dis-liked. I keep them in my "occasional use" tool kit, that I keep in my car so I don't have to lug round loads of tools to do a quick small job. But for day to day I just couldn't get comfy using them, I guess I'm just old school

Did you take this photo as the wife was throwing them at you - she's good, fast and accurate - and kinda cute too!must have tool for stripping SWA cores, LSF, and flex.
Morris method ?I can, I often straigten existing rough edges on metal back box cables I have really cottoned on the the Morris method and like it. It just looks like a proper electrician has been on the job. It's just much more professional looking, with a bit of science as to why.
I'll have to treat myself to a decent knife (any excuse) and give it a whirl. May be do some practising on cable I pull out. Any recommendations for a good knife that's going to last?
As for the youngster... I don't get it... I appreciate advice and constructive criticism, it's how we learn to do things better. And well, if I can get a neater finish, quicker... WIN WIN!
Typical scouser!i'll give you a tenner for them.
Mr James Morris of Morris services had an apoplectic fit when he saw me stripping sheath with the pull the earth and snip the sheath method and insisted we use the electricians knife. As he said it is the difference between and electrician and a craftsman. He was the one who explained the possible stretching (thus reducing the CSA) and increased PFC. He is a very insistent and meticulous as well as extremely erudite engineer and had the highest standards I have ever met and full credit to him.Morris method

No, they are in Bristol Kingswood and they don't have any other places they teach in to my knowledge. They are a school for electricians. Very good imo. I asked around a lot and this was the first body that actually told me exactly what I needed to do to improve and what qualifications. All the others just blathered about give us £5-7k and you get 30k a year crap. Where in fact you will just be poorer and none the wiser.the same Morris services
Me too, it's good exercise for the armsI'm not a fan of the knife down the cpc method for twin cable myself. I prefer to snip once down the length with cutters then pull apart, not using the cpc though I might add.

And just what is wrong with being a Too Tart may I ask?Just my opinion, but I think anyone who has posted on this thread would likely be a card carrying TT, especially the OP

came out of industry(desk job) as it boring and dead man's shoes. had to make a crust, so went into appliance repairs, then TV repairs, then alarms, back into electrical installation. came into some serious funds so bought an off licence/general store. that went ---- up for various reasons, so back on the tools.
